ABOUT THE FESTY EXPERIENCEThe 2nd annual Festy Experience (www.thefesty.com) will take place October 7th - 9th, 2011 at the Concert Grounds at Devils Backbone in Nelson County, VA. Curated by bluegrass-bending group The Infamous Stringdusters, The Festy revolves around the essential festival elements of good music, local sustenance, and the great outdoors. Weekend passes are $114 and are on sale now.

ABOUT THE INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERSThe Infamous Stringdusters are at the forefront of an exciting movement in bluegrass music. They wield an expansive repertoire touching on masters from Jimmy Martin to John Hartford, but their strength lies in their original compositions, proficiency on their instruments and extended improvisation that makes every performance completely unique. The live Stringdusters experience is anti-formulaic, groove friendly, and mind‐expanding ‐not your granddaddy's bluegrass -unless your granddaddy was Jerry Garcia.

ABOUT TURNTABLE.FMTurntable.fm is an extremely exciting music discovery and social networking tool that launched earlier this summer. If you have not checked it out, you only need to be logged into Facebook to join. Every Turntable.fm user has their own account where you can upload your own music, customize your avatar, and play songs in a virtual chat room with friends and strangers in real time. The room can vote on every song the three to five DJs are spinning with an "Awesome" or "Lame" vote. Too many lames, and the DJ gets booted. Now that's service!
